What Does Authorization Mean?The authorization of your course is an official recognition by the College Board that your course meets or exceeds the expectations colleges and universities have for your AP subject. Your syllabus was reviewed by experienced college and university faculty, who have confirmed that it outlines how your course provides a college-level learning opportunity to students. This authorization grants your school permission to use the "AP" designation on students' transcripts in association with the authorized course.

Credit Recovery Program:
A diagnostic driven credit recovery course is designed to give an expanded opportunity for students who did not succeed the first time in the course. Students are given the opportunity in each learning unit to demonstrate their knowledge in that area of study. If they demonstrate competency in their unit assessment they will be presented with the following unit. If they do not demonstrate competency then they are required to do the entire unit.
